Chapter 539: The Opportunity of the Rift
"Recently, I suddenly discovered that although looting is very unkind, it is very enjoyable, especially in the case of Siyi!" On the prairie, Zhang Fei led his army to break through a tribe and was cleaning up the battlefield at the moment.
"It's a pity that we can only pursue three hundred miles......" Yan Liang also led the army back, somewhat unpleasant.
Normal riding shooting, Xianbei riding shooting can also have a five-five fight with them. It's just that the first to play mobile riding and archery is Liu Tao's family. As a result, the cavalry under his command far surpassed others in riding and archery.
Even if everyone is riding and shooting, how to avoid each other's shots, how to harvest the enemy's lives more effectively, they are good!
It's just that in comparison to the complex tactical movements, whether it is Yan Liang or the officers and non-commissioned officers below, they prefer to wear more recklessly.
"The rest is a matter of the root of the step, anyway, we will see that we will receive it, and if we continue, our supply line will become a problem." Zhao Yun stepped forward, "The harvest is enough!" ”
Isn't that much? There were more than three thousand horses, countless cattle and sheep, and it was rare to have a large number of prisoners, at least seven or eight thousand. If you include the part that died in battle, it is estimated that it will be a little more.
Most of the captives were women and children, and there was no way, men and even old men rode horses to meet them. During the interrogation, it was found that many women had also planned to ride horses to meet the battle, but unfortunately there were not enough horses.
In this expedition to the south, Kebi was able to take away a large number of horses, but there were not so many horses left for the tribe.
"Be careful on the way back, this kind of ghost place looks similar, if it weren't for His Majesty giving Sinan to us in advance, I'm afraid we might get lost at any time." Zhang Fei reminded.
Natural magnets exist, so the use of natural magnets to make a compass has naturally become an armament. After all, the biggest problem with the grasslands is the lack of conspicuous landmarks. A little negligent and disoriented.
The Wind Dragon Insight Scroll can see the distance of hundreds of miles around, but it can only guard against the enemy, but there is no way to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and the compass is a thing that Liu Tao has already sent people to study three or four years ago.
In this expedition, Liu Tao sent people to send three Wind Dragon Insight Scrolls, the purpose of which was to allow them to be safe and sound in these three hundred miles, at least to know when the enemy army was coming.
"Your Majesty will conquer this place in the future......" Yan Liang also looked left and right, "This empty problem must be solved first." ”
"That's what those civil officials in the court need to have a headache with." Zhang Fei laughed, "I'll go back directly, and I don't know if Kebineng will attack." If he couldn't think about it so much, Ben wouldn't mind giving him a ride! ”
"It's better not to come, the imperial court also hopes to use him to deal with and contain Budugen." Zhao Yun frowned.
"We don't count this, we have to ask Kebineng!" Zhang Fei replied, "Have a good rest, we will be pulling out of the camp tomorrow!" ”
After chasing three hundred miles, I fought a few hard, and if I want to say that it is enjoyable, it will be too much, how can it last for a few months. Kebi can come if he wants, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't.
Maybe after discovering that Kebineng is not a big deal, Zhang Fei has no interest in him.
The real strong enemies are friendly forces, such as Lu Bu and Huang Zhong, and the third brother Guan Yu and Zhao Yun beside him. Those who are powerful are their own people, and the enemies are not powerful. Zhang Fei felt that if he wasn't limited by officials and materials, his brother would be able to dominate the world in a year!
The rest of the time is almost the beginning of the rush back. There was no enemy, at least no enemy was found in the first hundred miles, and the prisoners were concerned, so they could only slow down their movements, and only move about seventy miles.
"Are we being too merciful to those captives?" When resting at night, Zhang Fei couldn't help complaining. They are all cavalry, and at full speed, they can travel a hundred miles.
If this continues, it will take less than two hundred and fifty miles to travel in three days, and the last fifty miles will be completely unsupervised. If I knew this, I should have asked my brother for an extra scroll.
"Or, follow the basic method tomorrow, and use the scroll the day after tomorrow, so that the ...... will be used in turns" Zhao Yun gave a proposal.
"Is there any other choice?" Zhang Fei shook his head helplessly.
The next day, the army advanced, no longer without scruples, the scouts were sent out, and the pace of action began to slow down.
Those captives could feel this, but they were very strange in their hearts, yesterday this group of Han army scouts were not sent out, so they rushed at full speed, why did they become so cautious today?
It's just that they don't want to ask, in fact, ordinary people like them basically don't know Chinese and can't communicate with Han people.
But following the rules of the steppe, the loser becomes a slave to the victor. Because of this, women have become concubines of some people, and even men will kill their own children and their ex-husbands' children in front of them, which is the rule of the grassland.
This group of Han Chinese did not kill the older children immediately after the victory, which is already considered merciful.
However, this is actually not in line with the rules of the grassland, because the children will grow up, their hatred will not disappear, and this group of Han people will know what the consequences of raising wolves are!
After advancing like this for two days, seeing that there were still more than a hundred miles to return to Yanmen, Zhang Fei planned not to use the scroll. After all, this thing is very precious, and only His Majesty can make it, and there are too many people who need it.
If you can save it, you will save it, and you will be punished if you squander it casually, this is what the generals know. In fact, there is no need for punishment, and they don't dare to use it indiscriminately, otherwise one day Liu Tao will break their scroll, which will be the most painful.
On the first day, there was nothing wrong with that, and if there was a problem, it should have come out a few days ago.
The next day, the familiar beacon appeared, it was the border beacon, and the Hui of Yanmen County sent two people to garrison and patrol here every month, and when the enemy attacked, the beacon tower was lit.
The beacon fire will be passed to the next beacon tower ten miles away, and then all the way to Mayi.
At this time, in general, there would be no enemies, and Zhang Fei didn't even plan to use scrolls. It's just that Zhao Yun is a more cautious character, so he still sends scouts, and at the same time guards everything carefully.
"Report, there is a Xianbei cavalry in the rear!" Zhang Fei originally wanted to say that when Zhao Yun was too careful, a scout came to report, which made him have to swallow his words.
"How many?" felt uncomfortable, and Zhang Fei's tone was naturally not much better.
"About three thousand people, it doesn't seem to be Kebi Nengbu Xianbei." The scout replied.
"Form a formation, see who dares to come over at this time!" When Zhang Fei heard this, he was silent for a second or two, and then ordered.
About a quarter of an hour later, a cavalry appeared on the horizon, and it didn't take long for it to come to Zhang Fei. Headed by the Tuoba tribe, it is the Tuoba Liwei of the Tuoba tribe.
"Why don't you go to the trouble of the Kobi Neng Ministry, what are you doing here?" Zhang Fei shouted at them from a distance.
"Attacking Kebineng is inevitable...... Tuoba Li shouted slightly, "It's just that since we have given up Baiyun, then the spoils of your Kebineng Ministry, as a condition of exchange, should all belong to us, right?" ”
